Well, sorta
GM used the same trailing arms from 60-72, but on the 60-62 frames, the trailing arms are spaced out a bit farther than the 63-72 frames. From the beginning of the bed to the rear of the frame, the 63-72 frames are mostly the same. Where the cab mounts and the front frame horns are different. So not exactly the same overall, but similar enough to have interchangeable parts. Gotta love the GM parts bin
